The UK Government has published plans to store crown symbols to pint glasses 16 years after they were last featured.
New guidance has been set forth for businesses that wish to apply for pint glasses with a crown symbol on a decorative basis.
The Government says there is no intention to require businesses to change their existing practices.
Alongside the pint glass guidance, a new consultation launched June 3 promises to 'restore common sense' by 'ditching overbearing EU rules' in plans setting out to honour the Platinum Jubilee of the Queen.
It will seek advice on allowing vegetables to be sold in pounds only, or in pounds with a less prominent metric equivalent, should businesses wish to do so.
The post-Brexit consultation will help inform the Government's plans to legislate to give businesses choice in the units they use.
UK law requires metric units to be used for all trade purposes with limited exceptions.
In 2006, the symbol was replaced by the EU-wide 'CE marking' to conform with EU rules.
British pint glasses intended for measuring and serving beer were marked with a crown stamp as a declaration that the glass accurately measured a pint of beer for as long ago as 1698.
Business Minister Paul Scully said: "This Platinum Jubilee weekend we're raising a toast to Her Majesty The Queen's health and service to this country. It's a fitting tribute that we're now helping businesses to restore the Crown symbol to pint glasses.
"While we think of our fruit and veg by the pound, the legacy of EU rules means we legally have to sell them by the kilo. Our consultation today will help shops to serve customers in the way their customers want."
